DEBUTS: 

More filler please, thank you.

Sabrina Carpenter released the worst pop album of the year with Man’s Best Friend just over a week ago, but Tears stands out as a BIG highlight out of the slopfest we call that project. The beat carries the track with Sabrina talking about the same thing she’s been talking about for the last album and the next, that being she gets wet when a man does regular things. Aside from the copy/paste formula, it’s a nice little vibe that’ll hit #1 in 3-4 weeks, give or take.

HITBOUND:

mgk - can’t stay here (5)

Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance (NEW) 

twenty one pilots - Drum Show (3) 

Dasha - Like It Like That (3)

Conan Gray - Caramel (4)

Maeve - (We’re Not) Together!!!! (5)

Justin Bieber - LOVE SONG (NEW)

flowerovlove - I’m your first (NEW)

Marshmello and Jelly Roll - Holy Water (5)

Knox - White Knuckles (2)

sombr - 12 to 12 (5)

Audrey Hobert - Thirst Trap (4)

Eminem - Everybody’s Looking At Me (2)

Russell Dickerson - Happen To Me (6)

Crash Adams - New Heart (7)

Haven Madison - Castle (11)

DEBUTS: 

Lady Gaga returns with a pretty disappointing cut off the Wednesday S2 soundtrack. Joanne’s becoming a holiday artist to the GP, and that’s okay. She’s had a great career, but I think it’s run its course. (btw Kill For Love is a fucking banger that I hope she pushes as a single someday)

Justin Bieber decides to make a sequel album to SWAG, which apparently defies the odds and makes a sequel that barely excels the first, not that it was good or anything. This cut from the project is just a boring track that sounds the same as DAISIES, which the GP will eat up like hotcakes. 

We really are fucked if we’re bringing up cooked in our song writing. Outside of the new terminology (which I’m fine with, not of which my writing would tell you), the song’s just boring to go through and another Taylor copycat that we can walk right by.

PREDICTIONS:

Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance (NEW)

Justin Bieber - LOVE SONG (NEW)

Leon Thomas - MUTT

sombr - 12 to 12 (NEW)

Olivia Dean - Man I Need (NEW)

Ariana Grande - supernatural (NEW)

REASONING:

The Dead Dance is going for immediate airplay on US Pop Radio and it’s impact date is set for September 9th.

LOVE SONG is bound to be a streaming juggernaut and is already gaining spins on HITS 1.

12 to 12 might be getting airplay soon thanks to streaming gains.

Same for Man I Need.

Ariana's team finally got off their asses and released supernatural as a single, so its bound to get some airplay. 

That’s all for now, take care.
